Burning smell after parking my car

Hi,

So I've just purchased my g37s 6MT few weeks ago and after driving it and parking it back in my garage I would smell like this burning smell coming from the front. This happened a few times already. My driveway up to the garage is a slight uphill and requires me to drive real slow. Any ideas?

You're smelling your clutch. Figure out a different way to get in. Our driveway is on a bit of an incline too. I make sure I speed up before entry (while in gear/clutch fully engaged) and let momentum bring the car in. Can't really do this on very steep driveways.

I'd have to agree with Jsolo. Sounds like you're burning your clutch.
I also have a slight incline in my driveway.
In addition to getting enough momentum before you get to your driveway, you can just let go on the clutch slow until engagement and let it creep up.

You don't need to rev much over 1000 rpm to creep up a small incline.
2000 rpm is probably too much already if you're blending isn't on point.

FINESSE YOUR PEDALWORK!

Clutch burn +3. It happened one time to me. The smell is enough for me to make sure never to do it again. engage at a lower RPM (3k or so).
